One-Owner 1978 Chevrolet K10 Custom Deluxe Fleetside 4x4

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1973-87 General Motors C/K trucks, affectionately known as "Square Bodies," represent GM longest-running series ever. These third-generation pickups, offered by both Chevrolet and GMC, ushered in a bold, boxy aesthetic that would define an era.  Available in fleet-side or step-side configurations, with trim levels ranging from the workmanlike Custom Deluxe/Sierra to the plush Silverado/Sierra Classic, these trucks catered to a wide spectrum of buyers. Inside, drivers found a more spacious, ergonomic cabin, while the innovative crew-cab option foreshadowed the family-friendly trucks of today. From work trucks to weekend cruisers, Square Bodies have cemented their place in truck culture thanks to their accessibility, both in terms of an abundant parts supply and ease of maintenance.
